 A secretary who has worked for your corporation for fifteen years is

involved in a car accident in which she permanently loses the use of her
right hand. Thus, she can no longer effectively type, file, or perform many
of the other functions that she previously had performed and that are
included in her job description.
 Your corporation has a very tight budget and does not have sufficient
funds to pay for an additional secretary without reallocating budget
items. The injured secretary has been very loyal to your corporation, and
you have been very satisfied with her work and dedication. She wants to
stay at her job.
 Moreover, she does not believe that she could find other employment at
this time. Should your corporation fire her, lay her off with
compensation, or find a way to retain her? In resolving this dilemma,
apply:

 Utilitarianism
 The Rights Model
 Your own personal opinion
